Need to get into CRM

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

I work with an IT company, and one of clients has CRM, they have had some college student managing it for them. Well the student got busy and doesn't want to help anymore, so now our client is having an issue with it, and we can't even get in. I have access to the server that CRM is located on. and I opened up Microsoft Dynamics CRM Deployment manager, and under deployment administrators our username and the default Administrator domain logins are both there. But when I go to the crm website. (crm.ourclientname.org/clientname) there's a sign in page, but the credentials I have just don't work(our account.)

As well, when I go to Email Router Configuration Manager, and I click on Users, Queues, and Forward Mailboxes, i try hitting load data and it says "The email router configuration manager was unable to retrieve user and queue information from the Microsoft Dynamics CRM server." 

I checked under configuration profiles, and these are the settings

Profile Name: Exchange-Outbound

Direction:Outgoing

Protocol: SMTP

Email Server: exchange

Authentication Method: Anonymous

Access Type: Local System Account.

As far as CRM goes, I really don't know what I am doing at all, this is the only client we have on CRM, and we haven't had to support it up until this point, we didn't set it up, we didn't learn about it while it was being set up, etc.

Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

    His login will be tied to his Active Directory account.  Ask IT to find his user and reset the password.

    The college student who was helping, hasn't picked up his phone and they can't get ahold of him to get the login information.

    As far as I'm aware none of the business users have a system administrator role.

    Would there be any way to see a list of users with administrator?

    Or would there be any other way to get in?

    Thanks

    You need to have an actual user and security role in order to log in to CRM. Possibly one of the business users has a System Administrator user and they can create an account and role for you.

    If there are none, then use the user account of the "kid" that was doing this for them before and change the password if necessary so that you can log into the system and create you own user account (even if only temporarily).

    Hope this helps.
